# psqlODBC release notes

## psqlODBC 15.00.0000 Release

Changes:

1. Fix a bug that SQLGetDiagField(SQL_DIAG_NUMBER) with SQL_HANDLE_DBC returns SQL_NO_DATA even if an error record exists.
2. Fix a typo "RECISION" which should be "PRECISION".
3. Enable SQLColumnPrivileges functionality.
4. Currenly SQLColumnPrivileges() call fails. Fix a typo which is the cause.
5. Fix a bug that SQLColAttribute returns wrong column name.

## psqlODBC 13.02.0000 Release

Changes:

1. Fix a bug of CC_send_query_append() when the ignore_roundtrip_time flag is onRemove a mylog() call which is a dupilicate of the preceding MYLOG() macro call.
Also direct use of mylog() should be avoided because mylog() uses lots of CPU.
2. Noticed that the password field on the PostgreSQL Connection
dialog is always focused when empty, even when other fields that appear earlier on the dialog (and in the tab order) are empty. This is only a minor annoyance, but it does seem like it would be contrary to the expectation of most users. I would propose separating the conditional to inform the user that the password is required, but still focus the first empty field.
3. Remove REFCUR_SUPPORT, add FetchRefcursors setting
4. Support fetching results from multiple refcursors
Multiple result sets are returned if multiple refcursors are found Works with both ODBC CALL and PostgreSQL CALL syntaxes Query must be executed in a transaction to avoid cursors being closed Now works when output parameters are present.
5. Named parameter binding support
6. Use ODBC 3 column names for the result set of catalog functions.

## psqlODBC 13.01.0000 Release

Changes:

1. Fix a bug of CC_send_query_append() when the ignore_roundtrip_time flag is on.
2. Add a call for SQLDescribeCol() before SQLExecute() to prepare-test.
The diff of the result was reported by Mangold Fabian and will be fixed in the later commit.
3. Add a *update returning* test case to insertreturning regression test.
The diff of the result was reported by Patrick Cheung and will be fixed in the later commit.
4. Let SQLDescribeCol() use parsed result when the current executed result is NULL.
This change fixes the diff of prepare-test regression test reported by Mangold Fabian.
5. Let SQLExecute() destroy the old result first.
This change fixes the diff of insertreturning-test regression test reported by Patrick Cheung.
6. Forget to apply disable_convert_func flag to VARCHAR and LONGVARCHAR.
7. Prioritize DISABLE_KEEPALIVE checkbox over the disable_keepalive bit of ExtraOptions.
8. Format check for ExtraOptions of setup dialog.

## psqlODBC 13.00.0000 Release

Changes:

1. Add support for CONVERT scalar function.
2. Cope with the case that openssl libraries link msvc runtimes other than libraries which psqlodbc or libpq links.
3. Call AC_CHECK_SIZEOF() or AC_CHECK_TYPES() macros at earlier stage where LIBS variable isn't set yet.
These macros compile and run some programs. On some platforms(with some linker options like --no-as-needed in Lnux Gnu linker) the programs try to link libraries specified by LIBS variable at run time. There are some cases that the programs fail due to missing library which is actually not needed and AC_CHECK_SIZEOF() returns 0.
4. Fix a compilation error with GCC 10 due to conflicting variable names.
Patch by Paul Wise.
5. Remove curr_param_result property of StatementClass and separate parsed result from the exec result.
6. Add support for development with VC16(Visual Studio 2019).
MSToolsVersion parameter of BuildAll.ps1 and of regress.ps1 are deprecated.
7. Hold the first and last result for parametrized SQL statements with array of parameters.
This would improve the performance of bulk inserts/updates etc.
8. Revise the handling of QResultClass list.
Introduce macros QR_concat(), QR_detach() and QR_next().
9. Correct the handling of SQL_ROW_ERROR and SQL_ROW_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO.
10. Remove the single table restriction in SC_set_SS_columnkey.
11. Improve error reporting about SC_pos_reload_needed().

## psqlODBC 12.02.0000 Release

Changes:

1. Add a new *Display Optional Error Message* option.
This option allows to display error messages other than primary one. Also add documentaition about the option and *Numeric as* option.
2. Handle notice messages in libpq_bind_and_exec().
Sets and resets a notify receiver around PQexecParams() or PQexecPrepared().
3. Ignore PQtransactionStatus PQTRANS_ACTIVE in LIBPQ_update_transaction_status(). PQTRANS_ACTIVE isn't a transaction status.
4. Improve execution of parameterized SQL statements with arrays of parameters by sending chunks of SQL statements.
If SQL_ATTR_CURSOR_TYPE of an statement is SQL_CURSOR_FORWARD_ONLY, SQL_ATTR_CONCURRENCY is SQL_CONCUR_READ_ONLY and extended protocol isn't used, the batch execution of the statement is possible. A new option Batch Size was introduced for such cases.
Batch Size: Split an array (of parameters) into chunks of Batch Size to execute statements. The last chunk may contain less than Batch Size elements. Setting 1 to this option forces the current one by one execution.
Also turn off use_server_side_prepare option temporarily when batch executuion is possible.
5. Change SC_execute() so that it returns a return code which is not affetced by the preceding results. It's necessary for batch execution with arrays of parameters.
6. Add a new option IgnoreTimeout.
Some tools issue issue SQLSetStmtAttr(.., SQL_ATTR_QUERY_TIMEOUT,,) internally and sometimes it's difficult for users to change the timeout value. You can disable the timeout by turning on this option.
7. An improvement for psqlodbc developpers.
Make it possible to call some shell scripts from other directories.

## psqlODBC 12.01.0000 Release

Changes:

1. Check BuildResult(the result of drivers build) before building installers.
2. Enclose the command part * Find_VSDir $vc_ver * with parentheses so that the subsequent * -ne "" * isn't considered to be a parameter.

3. Cope with the removal of pg_class.relhasoids in PG12 correctly when retrieving updatable cursors.

## psqlODBC 12.00.0000 Release

Changes:

1. Fix the bug that SQLGetDescField() for Field SQL_DESC_COUNT returns SQLINTEGER value which should be of type SQLSMALLINT.
2. SQLGetTypeInfo() filters SQL_TYPE_DATE, SQL_TYPE_TIME and SQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP for ODBC 2.x applications.
3. Added support for scalar functions TIMESTAMPADD(), TIMESTAMPDIFF() and EXTRACT() functions.
4. The macro IS_NOT_SPACE() is used for not pointers but integers.
5. Fix a crash bug when SQLProcedureColumns() handles satisfies_hash_partition().
The proargmodes column of satisfies_hash_partition()'s pg_proc entry is not null but the proallargtypes column is null.
Per report from James.wang.

## psqlODBC 11.01.0000 Release

Changes:

1. Correct the rgbInfoValue returned by SQLGetInfo(SQL_TIMEDATE_FUNCTIONS, ..).
Pointed out by Song X. Gao.
2. Because the field 'relhasoids' was dropped in PG12, psqlodbc drivers would have some troubles with PG12 servers.
Report and patch by Vladimir Kokovic.
3. Register drivers {PostgreSQL ANSI} and {PostgreSQL Unicode} during installation on 64bit Windows so that users could use the same connection strings in both x86 and x64 environments.
Per report from Grant Shirreffs.
4. Correct the rgbInfoValue returned by SQLGetInfo(SQL_LIKE_ESCAPE_CLAUSE, ..).
Pointed out by Grant Shirreffs.
5. Fix a typo in SQLForeignKeys-ResultSet-Column. 'deferrablity' should be 'DEFERRABILITY'.
Report from Alexander Roskamp.
6. Correct the rgbInfoValue returned by SQLGetInfo(.., SQL_NUMERIC_FUNCTIONS(SQL_SYSTEM_FUNCTIONS or SQL_STRING_FUNCTIONS, ..).
Pointed out by Grant Shirreffs.
7. Bug fix: don't forget to set parameter numbers while handling escaped ODBC functions.
Report and patch by Grant Shirreiffs.
8. ix test_connection() in setup.c so that settings of conn_settings and pqopt option are reflected properly.

## psqlODBC 11.00.0000 Release

Changes:

1. Remove obsolete maps pointed out.
POWER -> pow, CONCAT -> textcat, LEFT -> ltrunc, RIGHT -> rtrunc
Patch by Daniel Cory.
2. Remove connSettings option and/or pqopt option from the OutConnectionString parameter of SQLDriverConnect() when each option doesn't exist in InConnectionString parameter.
3. The parameters should be cast because parameters of concat() function are variadic "any".
4. Unbuffered-IO in Windows is incredibly slow. Instead call fflush() after fprintf().
5. Add an alias DX of *Database* keyword for connection strings to aviod the use of "database" keyword which has a special meaning in some apps or middlewares.
6. numeric items without precision are unlimited and there's no natural map between SQL Data types.
Add an option *Numeric(without precision) as*.
7. Fix a bug that SQLSpecialColumns() returns oid/xmin incorrectly when a table does not exist.
Patch by Quan Zongliang.

## psqlODBC 10.03.0000 Release

Changes:

1. Put back the handling of lock_CC_for_rb variable. The variable lock_CC_for_rb should be held per connection.
Per report from Ayman Samamry.
2. Fix SQLGetTypeInfo() so that it filters SQL_TYPE_DATE, SQL_TYPE_TIME or SQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP for ODBC 2.x applications.
Per report from Oleg Tonkikh.
3. Revise ConfigDSN() so that it handles the 4th parameter(lpszAttribues) correctly.
Per report from Haribabu Kommi.
4. Fix a crash bug when handling error messages. Also modified some error messages.
5. Let SQLTables() or SQLTablePrivileges() show partition tables.
6. Fix build on Solaris defined(__SUNPRO_C) using Solaris Studio
7. Reduce DB access to pg_class or pg_index by caching relhasoids, relhassubclass etc. It would improve the performance of SQLSetPos() or SQLBulkOperations() very much in some cases.
Per report from Takayuki Tsunakawa.

## psqlODBC 10.02.0000 Release

Changes:

1. It's safer to call setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "") than calling setlocale(LC_ALL, "").
Report and patch by Mario De Frutos.
2. Avoid replacing effective notice messages.
Report from Wolfgang Apolinarski.
Patch by Clemens Ladisch.
3. Handle MALLOC/REALLOC errors while fetching tuples more effectively.
Per report from Haruka Takatsuka.
4. Make SQLSetPos(SQL_DELETE/SQL_REFRESH) more effective. Because queries calling currtid(2) like
   select .. from .. where ctid=currtid2(.., ..)
   cause Seq Scan, their execution may be very slow.
   It is better to execute queries using subqueries like
   select .. from .. where ctid=(select currtid2(.., ..))
   because they cause Tid Scan.
   Report and changes by Tsunakawa Takayuki.
5. Fix a crash bug in AddDeleted().
Report and patch by Takayuki Tsunakawa.

## psqlODBC 10.01.0000 Release

Changes:

1. Call Get-VSSetupInstance to detect Visual Studio installations whose version >= 15 when VSSetup module is available.
2. Review the handling of @@IDENTITY when a column's default is nextval(a_sequence) but the column isn't a serial. Unfortunately the function pg_get_serial_sequence() doesn't work for sequences which aren't serial type.
3. Add add an option -NoPDB to buildInstallers.ps1.
The switch option can be specified so as to exclude PDB files from the installers.
4. Fix a bug in pgdebug_realloc().
5. Free any data at exec params before the statement is executed again or the next set of parameters is processed. If not, then there will be a memory leak when the next SQLParamData/SQLPutData is called.
Per report from Mihai Giurgeanu
6. Review the level of MYLOG, QLOG.
Divide *level 1(detail)* log into *level 1(tuple level)* log and *level 2(detail)* log.

## psqlODBC 10.00.0000 Release

Changes:

1. Fix multibyte handling of ansi driver.
2. Handle PG 10 identity columns.
3. For PG10 servers, we will never see "unknown" output columns.
4. Improve @@identty handling.
Use multibyte-aware eatTableIdentifiers() instead of next_name_token().
Use identifierEscape() to escape single quotes or double quotes.
5. PG_PRINTF_ATTRIBUTE instead of printf in __attribute__((format(printf, .., ..))) function attribute.
6. Review the use of encoded_nextchar().
Remove variables which work in conjunction with encstr(encoded_str) so as to avoid misleadingness.
7. Use pg_get_serial_sequence() to get serial sequence of identity columns or serial columns.
pg_get_serial_sequence() for identity columns became available in PG 10.
8. Preparation for development with VC15(VS 2017).
9. Fix the bug that 'create table T_$001 (\81c)' fails when useServerSidePrepare is turned on.
Per report from Gregory Pruss.

## psqlODBC 09.06.0500 Release

Changes:

1. Fix a segfault on ResolveOneParam() function while executing a query after calling SQLSetStmtAttr(.., SQL_ATTR_APP_PARAM_DESC, an_ARD_for_another_statement, ..).
2. Fix a linkage error when doing installcheck for test/win.mak.
Report and patch by Kazuki Uehara.
3. Fix a bug when fetching bytea field to SQL_C_BINALY data. It's bad to double count of bytes.
4. Handle '$'s in identifiers correctly. Also take multibyte characters into account in identifiers.
5. Reduce the use of snprintfcat(or SPRINTFCAT_FIXED macro) as much as possible. Instead use PQExpBuffer library without having to worry about buffer length.
6. Use macro MYLOG instead of function mylog in preparation for later changes and unify mylog() and inolog() using level parameter. Enable the compiler to check the format string against the parameter of mylog() by adding __attribute__((format(printf,.,.))) to the declaration of mylog(GCC only). Using this mechanism, check and fix many discordances of parameters.
7. Implement myprintf() which prints logs according to printf format and make logs a little easier to read using the macro MYPRINTF() which calls myprintf().
8. Introduce token control while parsing. Detect *select .. into* or *select ... for update* and suppress *declare .. cursor for* clause in declare/fetch mode using the mechanism.
9. Add __FILE__, __FUNCTION__, __LINE__ to MYLOG.
10. Fix an parameter unmatch error which would cause a crash.
11. Removed some qlogs, changed some qlogs to MYLOG and added some qlogs.
12. Move the implemetation of GetExeName() from psqlodbc.c(psqlsetup.c) to mylog.c.
13. Remove the GssAuthUseGssapi option completely.
14. Fix bug that calls strdup() for NULL pointers.
Per report from Ding, Haiqiang.
15. Detect fast shutdown while connecting.
16. Put back the behavior when conversion errors from the current locale to SQLWCHAR occur. Simply returns zero length string instead of erroring out.
Per report from Andrus.
17. Add level parameter to Commlog/Mylog option of setup program.
18. Add __attribute__((format(printf,3,4))) to the declaration of snprintfcat().
19. Allow PROCCALL in ReadOnly mode.
Per report from Matej Mihelic.

## psqlODBC 09.06.0410 Release

Changes:

1. Fix buffer truncations. The truncations occured when concatenating 'RELEASE xxxx...;' and 'SAVEPOINT xxxx....'.
Per reported by Pavel Raiskup.
2. Correct the behavior of snprintfcat() on Windows using posix_vsnprintf() instead of _vsnprintf().
3. Handle StrLen_or_IndPtr argument of SQLBindParameter() properly when StrLen_or_IndPtr doesn't point to SQL_NTS and conversions between SQLWCHAR and SQLCHAR occur.
This change fixes MSACCESS errors reported by Christian Ullrich and Robert Ball.
4. Make quote_table() and ti_quote() thread safe.This change fixes "relation does not exist".
Per report and patch by Scott Beil.

## psqlODBC 09.06.0400 Release

Changes:

1. Reorganize the language conversion between the current locale and unicode.
2. Make a function setup_getdataclass() separating from long confusing if-block in convert_text_field_to_sql_c() and clarify the parameters.
3. Implement SC_get_localtime() and reduce time()/localtime() calls.
4. Visual C++ 14 provides snprintf().
5. Fix a crash bug in SQLBulkOperations() under use_declare/fetch off mode.
6. Clean up the use of 'internal' member of StatementClass.
7. Fix an infinite loop of CC_on_commit. The loop occurs when checking whether cursors are alive using 'MOVE 0' in CC_clear_cursors().
8. Fix the bug, skip malloc(0) in build_libpq_bind_params(). malloc(0) seems to return NULL on AIX, whereas it returns non-NULL on Windows or linux.
Per reported by Keith Handlon.
9. Add support for foreign tables and matviews in SQLTables.
10. Documentation fix for the 'PROTOCOL=' option. It's out of sync with the current driver behavior (since 09.05.0100).
Patch by Jan Wieck.
11. Fix more bugs with returning NULL for malloc(0).
Patch by TAKATSUKA Haruka.

## psqlODBC 09.06.0310 Release

Changes:

1. Fix a crash bug when connecting from MSACCESS(Microsoft Jet)
Per reported by Robert Ball.
This occurs when MSACCESS(Jet) calls SQLConnectAttr(.., 30002, ..) => ucs2_to_utf8() and about to call mylog() with a NULL derefernced pointer parameter.

## psqlODBC 09.06.0300 Release

Changes:

1. Implement SQLSet/GetConnectAttr() for some driver specific options.
2. Modify the code about UNKNOWNS_AS_LONGEST of the Unknown Sizes option so that it works properly.
3. Revise the handling of show oid column and row versioning option.
4. Revise the use of pgtype_xxxx() in catalog functions.
5. Replace pgtype_xxxx() whose 1st parameter is StatementClass with pgtype_attr_xxxx().
Also use macros for pgtype_xxxx() calls which have PG_ATP_UNSET, PG_ADT_UNSET or PG_UNKNOWNS_UNSET parameters.
6. Remove the use of PG_STATIC and UNKNOWNS_AS_DEFAULT.
7. Remove UNKNOWNS_AS_CATALOG of Unknown Sizes option.
8. Use symbols defined in catfunc.h instead of literal column numbers in SQLGetTypeInfo(), SQLSpecialColumns() and SQLTablePrivileges().
9. Fixes about SQLDescribeCol() or SQLColAttribute().

1. Report the size of constant strings using Unknown Sizes as Longest.
2. Correct the inconsistency between the sqltype of PG_TYPE_TEXT or PG_TYPE_UNKNOWN and the size in case of Unknown Sizes as Longeset.

10. Fix a bug about Unicode driver for ansi apps.
11. Fix a dangling reference in CC_lookup_characterset() introduced.
12. Simple implementation of get_environment_setting() on non-Windows platforms. If the codeset part of the current locale is UTF8, set the client_encoding to 'UTF8'. Take * set client_coding='...' * into account in check_client_coding().
13. Revise the handling of client encoding so as not to forget the update of related items(ccsc or mb_maxbyte_per_char).
14. Change the max byte per char of UTF8 from 6 to 4.
15. For Unicode drivers, when SQLConnect() or SQLDriverConnect() instead of SQLConnectW or SQLDriverConnectW is called, use the same client encoding as ANSI version of drivers use.Stop using percent-encoding to store the conn_settings option in odbc.ini.
16. Stop using percent-encoding to store the conn_settings option in odbc.ini.
17. Add #ifdef UNICODE_SUPPORT where there should be.
18. Introduce locale_encoding which corresponds to the locale. For non-Windows platforms determine the locale encodings from the current locale.
19. Make a function convert_text_field_to_sql_c() simply extracting from long confusing code and clarify the parameters for subsequent modifications.
20. Handle locales in non-Windows platforms and overhaule the language system.
21. convert bad to use lf_conv here.
22. Add __STDC_ISO_10646__ check to confirm that wchar_t means unicode.
23. Error out when SQLSetPos() skips updates.
24. Don't reset the status of Keyset in case of updates.
This fixes the bug about repeated updates using SQLSetPos().
25. Correct the inappropriate use of set_nullfield_int2().
26. Review the handling of OUTPUT parameters in SQLProcedureColumns().

1. If there are OUT, INOUT or TABLE arguments, ignore RETURN values.
2. OUT parameters of functions with returning SETOF should be treated as SQL_RESULT_COL rather than SQL_PARAM_OUTPUT.
3. Also treat table output arguments as SQL_RESULT_COL because functions returning table are equivalent to using one or more OUT parameters plus marking the function as returning SETOF record (or SETOF a single output parameter's type).

27. Use the same CPPFLAGS as well as CFLAGS/LDFLAGS to build regression tests as used to build driver.Also uchar.h header checking for later use.
Fix a crash bug when the locale isn't set connection.

## psqlODBC 09.06.0200 Release

Changes:

1. Start transactons first before calling SQLEndTran().
2. The failure of libpq_bind_exec() which returns NULL doesn't mean a FATAL error. Also make a check for disconnected connections.
3. Handle output parameters properly in build_libpq_bind_params.Also handle return values properly.
4. Make check of connection lost.
5. Revise recent lost connection check.
Check the lost connection

1. at the beginning of ODBC APIs.
2. at the beginning of FE-BE communications using extended protocol.

6. Stop specifying parameter datatype oids in parse message. Unfortunately it is inflexible and rather harmful. Though I don't know if it has much meaning, use cast instead just in order to keep regression test results. It's not necessary to cast any more the 2nd parameter of {call a_b_c_d_e(?, ?, ?, ?, ?)} in odbc-escapes-test.

## psqlODBC 09.06.0100 Release

Changes:

1. Optimization of a build system.
some adjustment and support Visual Studio 2015 for Windows.
2. Use SIZEOF_LONG_INT to check whether SQLROWSETSIZE exists.
SIZEOF_LONG_INT is defined in UnixODBC headers, while SIZEOF_LONG is defined by psqlodbc's ./configure. In odbcapi.c, we use it to determine what format modifier, %ld or %lld, to use for pointers. (Why don't we use %p?). We should rely on our autoconf check for that. In odbcapi.c, however, the check should match that in the ODBC headers, to determine whether SQLROWSIZE exists, so we should use SIZEOF_LONG_INT.
3. Fix the bug messages handle.
handle_error_message() and handle_notice_message() were unified into handle_pgres_error() in the wrong way. Unfortunately handle_error_message() never handled notice messages and set positive errornumbers which mean error_not_a_notice in psqlodbc. I renamed the constant CONNECTION_SERVER_REPORTED_ERROR to CONNECTION_SERVER_REPORTED_SEVERITY_FATAL and the constant CONNECTION_SERVER_REPORTED_WARNING to CONNECTION_SERVER_REPORTED_SEVERITY_ERROR so as to avoid confusion.
Reported by Shinji Mecha.
4. Allow setting isolation level before the establishment of connection.
5. Fixed return proper sqlstate error 08S01 in case of communication link failures.
Patch by Tsunakawa,Takayuki.
6. Check the existence of directory for logging.
7. Handle PG_DIAG_SEVERITY_NONLOCALIZED for servers whose version >= 9.6 so as to detect FATAL message properly.
8. Now default isolation level is server's default instead of fixed SQL_TXN_READ_COMMITTED.
Patch by Tsunakawa,Takayuki.
9. Make sure the isolation level is SQLUINTEGER and add the declaration of CC_get_isolation().
10. Change the default for ExtraSysTablePrefixes to an empty string.
11. Use lo_lseek64(lo_tell64) instead of lo_lseek(lo_tell) if the server's version >= 9.3. We are now able to handle > 2GB BLOBs.
12. Implement SQL_FECTH_BY_BOOKMARK operation of SQLBulkOperations properly.
13. Enable SQLBulkOperations in declare/fetch mode using long (>=12bytes) bookmarks.
Formerly the driver offered very simple bookmark support -- it is just the current row number. Now the driver offers more verbose bookmarks which contain KeySet informations (CTID (+ OID)). Though they consume 12bytes (row number + CTID) or 16bytes (row number + CTID + OID), they are useful in declare/fetch mode.
14. a hack to handle boolean items in VBA with MS Access.
VBA seems to transform the where condition a_boolean_item=True into ("a_boolean_item" = 1) which causes an ERROR:Operator does not exist boolean = integer . Here transforms it into ("a_boolean_item"='1') which seems safe in anyway.
15. Add a new option 'pqopt' which specifies libpq connection parameters as a conninfo style string.
The string must be enclosed with braces {} e.g. pqopt={sslcert=... sslkey=... sslrootcert=...} in the case of connection strings. Though host, port, dbname, user, password, sslmode, keepalives_idle or keepalive_interval parameters can be set using this option, they are ordinarily set by other options. When some settings for those parameters conflict with other ordinary options, connections are rejected.
16. Fix a corner case when parsing connection strings enclosed with braces.
17. As tuple_updated item in AddUpdated(), the parameter should be used. Deriving from other items caused bad results.
18. Change the default of ByteaAsLongVarBinary from 0 to 1.

## psqlODBC 09.05.0400 Release

Changes:

1. Enable COMMLOG and MYLOG button.
2. Default of *level of rollback on errors* is default(statement) not transaction.
3. Fix the bug SQLGetDescFieldW or SQLColAttributeW mistakenly returns SQL_ERROR.
4. Move src/*.exe to exe/*.exe on Windows.
Also use fc command instead of diff command on Windows. Fix a compilation error in large-object-data-at-exec-test.c regarding a type declaration in the middle of a code block.
Patch by Michael Paquier.
5. Ignore the difference between CR LF, LF and CR line break when comparing expected and result output.
6. Prior to Visual Studio 2015 Update 3, the hook functions of type PfnDliHook __pfnDliNotifyHook2 and __pfnDliFailureHook2 were non-const.
They were made const to improve security (global, writable function pointers are bad). If for backwards compatibility you require the hooks to be writable, define the macro DELAYIMP_INSECURE_WRITABLE_HOOKS prior to including this header and provide your own non-const definition of the hooks.
The following infomation is from Dave Cramer(davecramer@gmail.com).
7. Fix a regression test some failures.

## psqlODBC 09.05.0300 Release

Changes:

1. Largely reduce overhead of localtime() in SQLFetch
localtime() is a very costly system call causing serious grief on performance of the driver for OLTP-type applications using a lot SQLFetch and this one is being called for all data types when performing an in-line conversion, while it is being used only in the case where some of the date and/or timestamp fields are not initialized. While testing performance of an internal application, this patch has proved to improve the overall performance of an application by 20%.
2. Fix the use and the implementation of getNthValid().
3. Fix the handling of boundary_should_be_adjusted case when a rowset is cut in the middle of cached rows. Also fix the row info of SQL_ADDed tuples.
4. Estimate the rowsetSize including deleted tuples correctly so that rowset can be effectively handled.
5. Set once_reached_eof status when useDeclareFetch=0 so that QR_num_total_read() macro works well.
Don't forget to call CC_on_abort_partial() when rollback back to a savepoint. Now the driver passes cursor-block-delete test.
6. Refine SQLFetchScroll() for the orientations other than SQL_FETCH_NEXT/PRIOR.
Discard move_from_the_last stuff and call move_cursor_to_last() instead.
7. Refine cursors with KEYSET using oid or oid alternative as far as possible.
8. Preparation for handling inheritance.
9. Convert tableoid to relation name in case of inheritance.
10. fix buffer overrun in logging, and code cleanup.
Patch by Tsunakawa, Takayuki.
11. Implement SQL_QUERY_TIMEOUT.
Patch by Tsunakawa, Takayuki.
12. 'for' loop initial declarations are only allowed in C99 mode.

## psqlODBC 09.05.0210 Release

Changes:

1. Makefile.am in order to add new test case and expected output to distribution.
2. Use LoadLibraryEx for gxalib.dll load search path.

## psqlODBC 09.05.0200 Release

Changes:

1. Clear the parsed result before executing simple query so that SQLRowCount() returns.
This fix the bug reported by Walter Willmertinger.
2. Fix NULL dereferences which causes application crash.
Patch by Tsunakawa, Takayuki.
3. Don't initialize next_in_cache or rowstart_in_cache info when scrolling (block) cursors in declare/fetch mode.
This fixes the bug reported by John Kew.
4. Correct the detection of eof in useDeclare/fetch mode.
This change fixes the bug about fetching prior after scrolling next until eof reported by BenS.
5. Fix the bug about MONEY type.
6. Consider decimal_digits of SQL_TIME (and time field of PostgreSQL).
7. Don't forget to update num_total_read field of QResultClass record in case 'fetch 0 rows' after 'move'.
This fixes the bug 'When fetching a row "behind" the rowset by "fetch absolute" only the first ones of the result set can be fetched.' reported by Bernhard Goebel.
8. Make sure that EOF occurs when 'fetched < fetch requested'.
9. Correctly handle SQLGetData() when the target type is SQL_C_WCHAR and the buffer is small to get the whole data for some data types such as bool, date, time ... etc.
10. Refine SQLGetData().

1. Unify midtemp and moneytemp.
2. Variable wconverted is no longer needed.
3. Pre_convert for PG_TYPE_BOOL is not needed.
4. It's better to take the same road even in case of pre_convet.

11. Fixed possible once to build test suite in a different place other than the source code is, it's not now.
12. CHAR causes a compilation error in some environment. Use char instead of CHAR.
13. Correctly judge the SQLSTATE 01S06(Attempt to fetch before the result set returned the first rowset) for SQL_FETCH_PRIOR operations of SQFetchScroll.
14. Checking a flag bit mistakenly resets other flag bits.
Patch by Tsunakawa, Takayuki.
15. setup.c:test_connection() calls EN_Constructor() twice, leaking small memory.
Patch by tsunakawa, Takayuki.
16. The existing memory is not freed upon realloc() failure.
PGAPI_BindCol() doesn't check the failure of extend_getdata_info().
Patch by Tsunakawa, Takayuki.
17. The statement linked list is not properly chained, which throws away some statements.
Patch by Tsunakawa, Takayuki.
18. LINKMT is not used in the build process.
ADDL_INC should be ADD_INC. Just a typo. The CLEAN target doesn't delete .pdb files.
Patch by Tsunakawa, Takayuki.
19. Fix a parameter unmatch of snprintf.
20. In Windows the use of external variables timezone, tzname and daylight are deprecated. Use _timezone, _tzname and _daylight instead.
21. SQLS(G)etDescRecW instead of SQLS(G)etDescRec for Unicode driver.
22. The third stricmp() in writeDriverCommoninfo() is useless, because the second one causes the function to return.

1. SC_get_errormsg() definition is repeated twice in succession.
2. In info.c:SQLGetInfo(), "len = 0" is unnecessary because len is assigned at the end of the function.
3. In execute.c:PGAPI_ExecDirect(), flag doesn't need to be set as its value doesn't change.
4. PODBC_PER_STATEMENT_ROLLBACK is not used.

Patch by Tsunakawa, Takayuki.

## psqlODBC 09.05.0100 Release

Changes:

1. Use libpq for all communication with the server
Previously, libpq was only used for authentication. Using it for all communication lets us remove a lot of duplicated code. libpq is now required for building or using libpq.
2. Remove support for protocol versions older than 3.
Protocol version 3 was introduced in PostgreSQL 7.4, so this means that we no longer support server versions 7.3 or older. This simplified the code, making maintenance easier.
3. Remove support for ODBC versions older than 3.51.
The official binaries have been compiled in 3.51 mode for a very long time, so this has no effect on the official binaries.
4. Avoid one round-trip to the server when establishing connection.
When connecting to a server, the driver used to issue a query to determine the client_encoding setting being used, but that was unnecessary because all supported server versions send that information as part of the connection handshake when a connection is established. Remove the extra query, which should make connecting over a high-latency link faster.
5. Report max length of 'name' fields correctly.
PostgreSQL columns of type 'name', used e.g. in catalog tables to hold names of relations and other objects, were reported as having type VARCHAR(64). However, the real max length of a name field is only 63 bytes.
6. Remove 'Optimizer' configuration option
You can use the generic ConnSettings option with value "set geqo=off", to disable GEQO.
7. Fix title in 32-bit Unicode drivers setup dialog
The title on the 32-bit Unicode drivers's setup dialog on Windows incorrectly said "ANSI".
8. Don't export private symbols that are not part of the ODBC interface
This was causing problems when the driver was loaded together with another dynamically loaded library with a function of the same name. This was reported to happen when loading the odbc_fdw foreign data wrapper into a PostgreSQL server, because both the PostgreSQL server and the ODBC driver contain a function called check_client_encoding().
9. Report a sensible SQL_DESC_OCTET_LENGTH value for result set columns of type 'unknown'
If a query returns a column of type 'unknown', as happens e.g. in a query like "select 'foobar' from table" where the datatype of the constant 'foobar' is not specified, the SQL_DESC_OCTET_LENGTH property of the column was returned as invalid. Report it the same as 'varchar' field with no explicit length, instead.
10. Fix quoting bugs in sending integer query parameters to server
The drivers used to assume that if a parameter's SQL type is SQL_INTEGER or SQL_SMALLINT, the value does not require quoting when its send to the server. For example, "SELECT ?", with parameter 123 was translated to "SELECT 123", when UseServerSidePrepare was not enabled. However, there was no check that the query parameter in fact contained a valid integer, when replacing the parameter markers with their values. Also, in a query like "SELECT 0-?", a negative value needs to have parens around it, as in "SELECT 0-(-123)".
11. Don't reset autocommit when a connection is established
If autocommit is disabled on a connection, by calling SQLSetConnectAttr(SQL_ATTR_AUTOCOMMIT, SQL_AUTOCOMMIT_OFF, 0), before connecting with SQLDriverConnect(), autocommit was incorrectly reset back to on when the connection was established.
12. Send datatype information for query parameters, when known
If a query parameter is bound with a specific SQL type, pass on that information to the server. This makes the behaviour of queries like "SELECT '555' > ?" more sensible, where the result depends on whether the query parameter is interpreted as an integer or a string.
13. Use libpq defaults for Server, Username and Database settings
Server, Username and Database settings can now be left empty, in which case the corresponding libpq defaults will be used. The libpq default is to connect to a local server over Unix domain sockets (on Unix systems) or to localhost over TCP/IP (on Windows), if Server is left empty. The default username is the current operating system user, and the database to connect to is a database with the same name as the user. These built-in defaults can be changed by environment variables, however. This is particularly useful for connecting to a local installation via Unix domain sockets, as that is the default when Server is left empty, and was difficult to configure otherwise.
14. Fix bug in parsing E'' literals
The driver needs to parse a query string to determine whether a '?' character is a parameter marker, or if it's inside a quoted string or a SQL comment. This parsing did not correctly handle E''-style strings.
15. Remove 256 byte limit on the length of NOTICE messages
There was a built-in limit of 256 bytes on the length of NOTICE messages received from the server. Strings larger than 256 bytes were not returned to the application. That limit has been removed.
16. Fix parsing of strings containing escaped quotes with Parse=1
This fixes issues in extracting metadata like result set column names, with the Parse=1 option.
17. Fix connecting with a user or database name that contains spaces or quotes
User and database names were not quoted correctly when building a connection string. A different method is now used for sending those parameters, which doesn't require quoting and escaping.
18. Remove support for so-called "premature execution"
Premature execution was a method for getting information about a result set of a query, before SQLExecute() was called. That was always dangerous, as any side-effects of the query would happen, even if the application did not call SQLExecute() after all. With protocol version 3, there is a safer way to do this. This also removes the DisallowPremature configuration option, as the driver never does premature execution anymore.
19. Fix buffer overrun when the server reports an error message longer than 4096 bytes
If the server returned an error longer than 4096 bytes, we would overrun the buffer by two bytes. If you're unlucky, that could lead to a crash. That consistently happened on Windows.
20. Improve parsing of INSERT INTO statements, for @@identity support
The code that parses INSERT INTO statements, to extract the name of the target table, got confused by values containing dots, and other things. Improve the parsing support to handle a wider range of INSERT statements.
21. Fix crash in SQLTables() function, if search_path was set to a non-existent schema
The server-side current_schema() function returns a NULL if search_path is set to a non-existent schema, and the driver code was not prepared for a NULL result.
22. Fix buffer overrun when connecting, and KeepaliveTime and KeepaliveInterval were both set
If the server returned an error longer than 4096 bytes, we would overrun the buffer by two bytes. If you're unlucky, that could lead to a crash, and it consistently did on Windows. Per report from Andrus Moor.
23. Set an error message when password is required to connect.
In previous versions, if a connection fails because the server requires a password and no password was supplied. Per report from "PSequel Support".
24. Improve parsing of INSERT INTO statements to support @@identity
Patch by Christian Ullrich.
25. Fix SQL_DATA_AT_EXEC processing for large objects.
Reported by Vadym Krevs.
26. The server decide if SQL_LONGVARBINARY means a bytea or large object.
This reverts the behaviour of SQL_LONGVARBINARY parameters.
27. Fix handling of return value in {? = CALL ... } syntax.
When sending the query to the server, need to use the number of parameters calculated by build_libpq_bind_params(), which excludes the OUT parameter, rather than the original number of parameters. Reported by Haribabu Kommi.

## psqlODBC 09.03.0400 Release

Changes:

1. Rip out broken retry/timeout logic in SOCK_wait_for_ready.
At a quick glance, the logic looked like retry with progressive timeout, but it was horribly broken. First of all, the timeout was only used if retry_count was passed as 0. And in that case, the timeout was 0. So retry_count == 0 actually meant "check if data can be read/written without blocking", while retry_count > 0 meant "sleep until data is available". There was also some code to handle retry_count < 0, but that was dead code because none of the callers passed a negative value. The hardcoded max. retry count of 30 retries was quite bogus too. Filling the output buffer more 30 times is not necessary an error, and it's not clear that the ssl library could not return SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ or SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE more than 30 times. Unlikely, yes, but possible. So, just rip out the retry_count and progressive timeout logic. Replace the retry_count argument with a simple "should block?" argument. I didn't dare to remove the condition that we always wait if SSL is enabled, although I don't understand that at all. But perhaps there's some well-hidden reason for that. Per report from Prakash Itnal, although this just removes the broken code, and won't enable the kind of a timeout that he wanted.
2. Clean up Windows makefiles.
Get rid of the CPU and CPUTYPE variables in win64.mak. Instead, assume that the TARGET_CPU variable has been set correctly in the environment. TARGET_CPU is set by "setenv" script that comes with the Microsoft Visual Studio C compiler package. It never worked to pass a "CPU=x86" and using a x64 compiler, for example, so seems better to determine the correct target from the environment, than fail with a cryptic error message if the CPU argument and the environment don't match. To build 32-bit binaries with win64.mak, simply do "setenv /x86" before running "nmake -f win64.mak". Similarly, to build 64-bit binaries, use "setenv /x64". It should now be possible to build both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries with win64.mak. Ideally, we could now remove win32.mak altogether, but there are small differences between win64.mak and win32.mak in the build options that they use. I don't understand the differences enough to dare to remove win32.mak yet. The CPU=AMD64 alias for x64 is no longer supported (as the whole parameter is now gone). Also do whitespace & other cosmetic fixes to win32.mak and win64, to make them more similar. This helps when comparing the two with "diff". Remove remains of the long-gone "MULTIBYTE" setting (it was misspelled in win64.mak, anyway)
3. Fix crash if connection is closed while sending a query to the server.
Some functions reset conn->sock to NULL on a socket error, so we must not keep a copy of it in a local variable. Also, SOCK_get_id should check for NULL argument like all the rest of the SOCK_get/put_* functions.
4. Rewrite the conversion functions between strings and SQL_NUMERIC_STRUCT.
Aside from making the functions more readable and faster, this fixes a number of bugs:

1. When converting a large number from decimal to binary, the least significant byte might be wrong.
   reported by Walter Couto.
2. In binary->decimal conversion, a number with small precision but large scale caused a "Floating point exception".
3. In binary->decimal conversion, building the final string was wrong, picking up "digits" from outside the reserved stack space, if scale was larger than 40
4. The param_string buffer allocated for the result of binary->decimal conversion was too small.

Also add a test cases for all of these bugs.
5. Fix ODBC function escape for SPACE function.
6. Make sure that the psqlodbc ANSI driver is ODBC3.5.
7. Register 64bit XA DLL on installation
Changes by a patch from Craig Ringer
8. Fix potentially uninitialized local pointer access which causes.
fatal compilation errors on vs2012/2013 reported by Craig Ringer.
9. Fixed ctype_length() is missing the length for SQL_C_BIGINT and SQL_C_NUMERIC.
patch by John Smith.
10. Fix access to unallocated memory in IAsyncPG.
IAsyncPG was deleting its self, then returning an instance variable by value. This is probably going to be safe pretty much all the time, but it's still a memory error, and DrMemory (a Windows valgrind-alike)
11. SQL_NUMERIC_STRUCT was not available until ODBC 3.0.
Also add a prototype for ResolveNumericParam for readability.
12. Increase digits used to convert from REAL/DOUBLEs to strings so that the reverse conversions can recover original values.
Patch originally by John Smith.
13. Clear errors for prepared statement for subsequent exections.
14. Fix the problems using SQLFetch on prepared INSERT with RETURNING clause.
reported by John Smith.
15. Fix use of server-queried version before connection.
psqlODBC attempted to use the version that's queried from the server before it was obtained from the server during the connection setup. Because the server version is initialized to 0.0, tests for "server version >= 7.4" or "server version >= 6.4" using the PG_VERSION_LT macro were always returning false. Instead, use PROTOCOL_64 and PROTOCOL_74 tests against conninfo. These don't offer any "greater than" form, so just test both. There's little point adding anything prettier when it can all be removed when v1/v2 protocol support is removed soon anyway. The main symptom of this issue was that psqlODBC was sending an invalid protocol message for the v3 protocol, "Q \0", causing the server to wait for the second half of the length word forever. At connection close, the server would emit:
unexpected EOF within message length word
This issue was observed while tracking down problems with XA transactions in MSDTC failing to commit after a successful prepare because an isolated tx created via getLockedXAConn() got stuck here, but is not confined to that problem.
16. Don't use PG_VERSION_xx() macros in original_CC_connect().
it's not obtained from the server yet. This may fix another cause of the problem Craig Ringer reported.
17. Fix bug in SQLCancel().
If one thread was busy executing a savepoint statement, while another thread calls SQLCancel() on the statement, SQLCancel() would try to release the locks held by the other thread. That's extremely racy; if the other thread tries to increment/decrement the lock_CC_for_rb counter at the same time, we could end up releasing the lock to many times or too few times. Also, releasing a pthread mutex from a different thread than the one who acquired it is undefined behavior. AFAICS the DiscardStatementSvp() call in SQLCancel() can be safely removed. It's outright wrong and dangerous if the statement is busy executing in a different thread, and the other codepaths in PGAPI_Cancel() already call DiscardStatementSvp(). Bug report by Jade Koskela.
18. Fixes a NULL pointer dereference occurring when connecting.
using SSPI authentication (without kerberos, a local Windows user trying to connect to postgres instance on same host). Patch originally by Nikhil R Deshpande.
19. Fix bug with UseDeclareFetch=1 when a transaction is committed before fetch.
If a server cursor is closed before the application has fetched any rows from the result set, the "base" of the result set's cached rowset was off-by-one. Also add a regression test for the same. This fixes the bug reported by Jan-Peter Seifert.
20. Fix driver name mismatch between 32-bit ODBC app and 64-bit MSDTC host.
If the 32-bit driver runs on a 64-bit host within a 32-bit app running under SysWow64 then XA transactions will fail to recover. That's because recovery is done by pgxalib.dll which runs with in MSDTC.exe - a 64-bit application. It connects to a DSN supplied by psqlODBC in EnlistInDtc_1pipe during DTC enlistment by the XA resource manager. This DSN uses the driver name of the client's ODBC driver - which is fine so long as the client and MSDTC architectures match. If they don't then MSDTC will fail to connect to Pg, so it'll never resolve transactions. Traces of MSDTC will show RM_COMMIT_DELIVERY_FAILED_DUE_TO_CONNECTION_DOWN events. Traces of pgxalib.dll will show xa_recover(..) being entered, followed by "SQLDriverConnect return=-1".
21. Remove PgDtc_set_property(.., prepareRequestded, 0) which causes a crash in case PREPARE TRANSACTION error.
The property prepareRequested isn't set anywhere.
22. Add KeepaliveTime and KeepaliveInterval options to specify time or interval for keepalive.
23. Fix a memory leak check qresult.
Per report by Pluto Cobain.
24. Get rid of copy and paste code in installer/ and unify them.
The powershell scripts had lots of duplication. Make the unified code instead. Original patch was provided by Craig Ringer.
25. Clear unused stuff from PgDtc_isolate() function.
Also add CC_initialize_pg_version() call after CC_copy_conninfo() so as to avoid the trouble caused by early PG_VERSION_xx() calls.
26. Fix race condition in getting the current decimal separator.
The code to get the current decimal separator was not thread-safe. If two threads concurrently saw that the locale had changed, they might both try to free() the same string. This isn't a perfect fix, there's still a race condition if a thread changes the locale while another thread is running the psqlodbc code. But at least this eliminates the race condition when the locale was changed earlier, not concurrently, and even if it is changed concurrently, this is less likely to crash, depending on the way localeconv() is implemented in libc.
27. Fix bug in building an abbreviated connection string.
Introduced by the keepalive-patch, which accidentally removed a line from sprintf format string. Caught by a compiler warning.
28. Fix buffer overflow in SQLGetData.
If a PostgreSQL timestamp column is fetched using SQLGetData, into a SQL_C_CHAR output variable, with size of 20-22 bytes, the driver might overrun the buffer by a few bytes with unusual timestamp values, with year < 0 or > 10000. While at it, fix the truncation behavior for date/time/timestamp values so that if the output buffer is too small, we still write what fits and truncate, instead of writing nothing. This is something that one might do on purpose, e.g. if you only want to fetch the year part of a date, you might call SQLGetData() on a date column, with only 4 bytes long output buffer. (although we haven't heard any complaints from the field). Also, if the output buffer is of type SQL_C_WCHAR, but the buffer length is odd, and we have to truncate, we didn't NULL-terminate the string. Using an odd-sized buffer with SQL_C_WCHAR is a pretty unlikely thing to do, but nevertheless I think this is more correct behavior.
29. The function SC_setInsertedTable() prepares an info for subsequent 'select @@IDENTITY' command.
Take table name like catalog.schema.table into account in the function. Fix the bug reported by Phillippe Champignon.
30. Improve pgxalib.dll(MSDTC support).

1. Add an option which lets xa_open() try to connect to the database immediately. This would cause an error at enlistment in dtc when the authentication method depends not only on the db user but also on the OS user, which means the automatic transaction recovery is unavailable.
2. Log the error message in case of SQLDriverConnect() error.
3. Improve the logging.

31. Fix the regkey search bug when XARMcreate() causes an error at enlistmentvin DTC.
32. Additonal improvement on MSDTC enlistment.
Unfortunately the current pgxalib.dll can't recover transactions which use sslmode verify-[ca|full] or whose authentication is SSPI, certificate or ident. When MSDTC.exe tries to connect to PostgreSQL it does so under Windows user NETWORKSERVICE, which won't match the username the original user connected to PostgreSQL as. So PostgreSQL will reject the connection.
33. Fix SQLTables column names to be ODBC version 3 compliant.
In ODBC3, TABLE_QUALIFIER was renamed to TABLE_CAT, and TABLE_OWNER to TABLE_SCHEM. Per report David Hedberg.
34. Add a new dialog page to the setup program and allow the setting of PREFERLIBPQ and XAOPT option.
35. Add a powershell script buildBootStrapper.ps1 which builds bootStrapper program with some optional parameters.
Quote the version number of bootstrapper from the configuration xml file unless specified. Also change the name of 32bit MSI in the bootstrapper according to changes of 32bit installer build system. Change buildInstallers.ps1 build the bootstrapper together. Change ALLUSERS from "2" to "1" of the 64bit installer.

## psqlODBC 09.03.0300 Release

Changes:

1. Fix implicit casts between SQLCHAR and char. Don't rely on -Wno-pointer-sign.
2. Pass the argument to isalpha/isspace etc. routines as unsigned char.
Per the C standard, the routine should be passed an int, with a value that's representable as an unsigned char or EOF. Passing a signed char is wrong, because a negative value is not representable as an unsigned char. Unfortunately no compiler warns about that.
3. Use "function(void)" instead of "function()" to declare 0-arg functions.
"function(void)" is the correct syntax in a function declaration, although in practice compilers accept the latter too. It's OK in a function definition, but change those too for consistency. This fixed by Michael Paquier.
4. Add missing function declarations.
These are not actually used outside of pgtypes.c, but let's be consistent and declare them in pgtypes.h This fixed by Michael Paquier.
5. Use the PG_CONFIG setting from ./configure cmd line in regression tests.
If compiling without libpq (configure --without-libpq), then you still need to have pg_config in path to build the regression tests, or specify PG_CONFIG at the make command line.
6. Add more test cases.
Add a new test case to test ODBC functions deprecated in ODBC 3.0, ODBC catalog functions, SQLGetConnectOption and Avoid deprecated SQLAllocStmt/SQLFreeStmt in regression tests. and more. Per Michael Paquier
7. Don't clear error number when SQLGetDiagRec is called.
Calls to SQLGetDiagRec are supposed to be nondestructive, per ODBC spec. Also add a test case for that.
8. Fix two UseDeclareFetch bugs.

1. NOTICE messages were not delivered to the application, if they arrived as response to the DECLARE CURSOR statement.
2. Array-bound parameters on SELECT-queries caused a "cursor already open" error.

These bugs were found by running the regression suite with UseDeclareFetch=1. It's now clean.
9. Fix crash if connection is closed during CC_send_query_append function.
This fixed Malcolm MacLeod

## psqlODBC 09.03.0210 Release

Changes:

1. SSL verify[-(ca|full)] is avaiable since 8.4.
There seems no need to check it. Also there's no need to call lt_dlopen currentl y.
2. Update EXTRA_DIST in Makefile.am
Files for the new lfconversion test case were missing.
3. Fix locking in SC_set_prepared
added ENTER/LEAVE_CRIT_CS calls in SC_set_prepared.
4. Add test case for CTE queries (WITH ...)
None of the existing test cases covered that. This test case gives a different e rror message than the original one, but it'sthe same underlying issue.
5. Silence compiler warning.
SQLGUID format and conn_settings cannot be NULL.
This fixed by Michael Paquier.
6. Fixed POSTGRES_RESOURCE_VERSION variable.
Pass the content of POSTGRES_RESOURCE_VERSION variable to the resource compiler correctly so that FileVersion and ProductVersion are properly set.
7. Change regression test positioned-update
Use "exit(1);" instead of "return;" to exit from main().
This fixed by Michael Paquier, at least some compiler on OS X didn't like it.

## psqlODBC 09.03.0200

Changes:

1. Set TCP keepalive by default.
2. Fix cursors test case on big-endian systems.
The SQL_CURSOR_COMMIT_BEHAVIOR property is a SQLUSMALLINT, not SQLUINTEGER. On a little-endian system, you wouldn't notice, provided that the target variable was initialized to 0 before the SQLGetInfo call.
Per report from Christoph Berg that the cursors test was failing on mipsel and other big-endian architectures.
3. Add regression test for SQLBindCol.
We were already doing SQLBindCol as part of the positioned-update test, but seems good to have one explicitly for it.
4. The driver takes SQL_C_LONG to mean SQLINTEGER rather than "long".
The regression test was failing on the s390x architecture because of that.
It's big-endian, with sizeof(long) == 8.
5. Revert "When LF->CR+LF conversion causes an buffer truncation, supress the conversion (in case of unicode)."
6. Refactor utf8_to_ucs_lf.
A macro is difficult to debug, so turn it into a regular function.
Also, add a new test case for LF->CR+LF conversion, to test the bug that Nils Go"sche reported (which was already fixed).
7. Add locking to SQLFreeStmt and SQLFreeHandle.
This fixes a race condition, where SQLFreeStmt is called while the connection is busy executing another statement.
SC_set_prepared would see that the connection is busy (CONN_EXECUTING), and not issue a DEALLOCATE statement to free the prepared statement in the backend, leaking it.
8. The 2dn argument of SC_set_prepared() is int(enum) not BOOL.
9. Change to supply non-NULL parameters for SC_set_error().

## psqlODBC 09.03.0100

Changes:

1. Fix uninitialized use of 'allocbuf' variable, in case of out-of-memory.
Compiler warned about this. If ENLARGE_NEWSTATEMENT macro ran out of memory, it would jump to cleanup routine.
The cleanup would check if allocbuf isNULL, and try to free() it if not.
allocbuf needs to be initialized to NULL before the first ENLARGE_NEWSTATEMENT macro invocation.
2. SQL_C_SLONG stands for SQLINTEGER not long.
3. Change SQL_ATTR_PARAMS_PROCESSED_PTR attribute which is set by SQLSetStmtAttr() from (SQLUINTEGER *) to (SQLULEN *).
This fixes the bug reported by Christopf Berg.
Also verify similar attributes which were changed from SQL(U)INTEGER (*) to SQL(U)LEN (*) when 64bit ODBC was introduced.
4. Reduce the memory usage of ConnectinClass objects by changing their large fixed length text fields to variable ones.
Because changes are applied to percent-encoded fields this time, password field is also a target of this.
5. Revise MSDTC support.
Remove pointlessly complicated AsyncThreads stuff. Instead use _beginthread() to clean up threads.
Make pgenlist.dll from the structure change of ConnectionClass.
The driver dlls exports the functions described in connexp.h which are used by pgenlist.dll.
Isolate the current communication path if necessary.
While an IAsyncPG object is alive, a ConnectionClass object (hereinafter refered to as conn-obj) is assigned to it.
The assignment has to be changed in the following cases.

1. SQLDisconnect() is called for the current connection handle which is assigned to an IAsyncPG object.
Allocate another conn-obj and move the current communication path (*sock* member of the current conn-obj) to the new conn-obj. The communicaation path is lost from the current conn-obj and the new conn-obj is assigned to the IAsyncPG object.
2. Another (global) transaction is about to begin but the current global transaction is not PREPARED yet.
Same as case a) but will open a new communication path for the current conn-obj for the subsequent ODBC API calls.
3. Another (global) transaction is about to begin and the current global transaction is already PREPARED.
Allocate another conn-obj and open a new communication path for the conn-obj. The new conn-obj is assigned to the IAsyncPG object only to issue COMMIT/ROLLBACK PREPARED command. communication pass (*sock* member of the current ConnectionClass object) to the new object and change the state of the current object NOT CONNECTED. The IAsyncPG object uses new object instead of the current object. In case b) the current object will open a new communication path.

6. Ignore automatically-generated files in source code with .gitignore.
This is useful to prevent accidental commit of files that are not wanted in the remote repository.
The original patch was provided by MichaelPaquier. I also added files genearated by VC build tools or WIX tools to .gitignore.
7. The first cut of psqlodbc setup project. It builds a setup program which can't be done by a single MSI.
It would install VC++ redistributable, 32 bit psqlodbc driver and 64 bit psqlodbc driver (on 64 bit windows).
8. Change the configure.ac

1. Change checking SIZEOF_LONG not SIZEOF_LONG_INT.
2. with_xxxxx (xxxxx is the package name) variables directly instead of the withval variable.
3. Improve the help message of configure script.
4. Stop linking lib(i)odbc library because the library is unnecessary and rather harmful.
Per report from Pavel Raiskup(postgresql.org/message-id/1769926.65KUyECjFr@nb.usersys.redhat.com).
5. Move -Wall -Wno-pointer-sign CFLAGS option specified in Makefile.am to configure.ac.
6. ODBC_CONFIG is set when neither unixODBC nor iODBC is explicitly specified.

9. Silence misc compiler warnings. Also a few comment typo and whitespace fixes.
10. CC_Copy is needed if _HANDLE_ENLIST_IN_DTC_ is used, regardless of CLEANUP_CONN_BEFORE_ISOLATION.
That caused compilation on Windows to fail.
11. Remove some dead code.(SOCK_clear_error, SOCK_skip_n_bytes)
12. Handle turning standard_conforming_strings to off in mid-session.
We already watched for a ParameterStatus response indicating that standard_conforming_strings was turned on, and acted accordingly, but if it was turned off, we did nothing.
13. Remove common.o on "make clean"
14. Change the default for UseServerSidePrepare to 1.
The docs have recommended UseServerSidePrepare=1 for server versions 7.4 onwards, so it seems prudent to change the default so that people don't needto remember to specify it manually.
With UseServerSidePrepare=1, the "insertreturning" regression test case behaves better, ie.
SQLNumResultCols() correctly returns the number of columns for an INSERT RETURNING statement, even when called before SQLExecute().
15. Remove useless 'sync' parameter from prepareParameters() function. It was always passed as TRUE.
16. Don't issue a BEGIN when running VACUUM in auto-commit mode.
Normally in auto-commit mode the driver begins a new transaction implicitly at the first statement, by sending a BEGIN statement. However, some commands, like VACUUM, cannot be run in a transaction block, and you will get an error like "VACUUM cannot run inside a transaction block" from the server. In UseServerSidePrepare=0 mode, the code looks at the first word of the query to determine if the statement is one of the special ones, and if so, didn't begin a new transaction even when auto-commit mode is disabled. However, in UseServerSidePrepare=1 mode, when using SQLPrepare/ SQLExecute to run the VACUUM, that check was not made. Fix that. There was one more related inconsistency between UseServerSidePrepare modes. Without server-side-prepares, if you issued an explicit BEGIN in auto-commit mode, the implicit BEGIN was ont sent. But without server-side prepares, it was. It seems best to send the implicit BEGIN in both cases, because then you get a warning from the backend about the second BEGIN. That's a good thing, because a sane ODBC application should be using the ODBC function SQLEndTran() for transaction control, not explicit BEGIN/COMMIT.
17. When LF->CR+LF conversion causes an buffer truncation, supress the conversion (in case of unicode).
18. Handle SSL client certificate authentication in Windows Schannel security support provider.
You have to place the certificate file postgresql.pfx (PFX or PKCS12 format) in %APPDATA%\postgresql folder instead of postgresql.crt and postgresql.key (I wasn't able to find the way to handle PEM format using Cryptography API unfortunately).
You can create the file using the following command.
openssl pkcs12 -export -in postgresql.crt -inkey postgresql.key -out postgresql.pfx (with empty password).
19. Change Windows installer build system for the next release.
Change to specify ProductCode for each version so as not to forget to change ProductCode in case of major version up. Remove VC runtime merge modules from the installer(runtime dlls will be installed via psqlodbc setup program).
[64bit version only] Use libpq by default Remove GSSAPI support by default
20. Concentrate the settings of Windows build system to an xml file and build binaries or installers with reference to it.
(configuration.xml) xml file to specify the setting of the build environment. It is automatically generated in winbuild folder as a copy of winbuild/configuration_template.xml when you invoke editConfiguration script firstly.
.winbuild/configuration.ps1 modules to handle the configuration file
.winbuild/editConfiguration.ps1 edit configuration file (GUI)
.winbuild/editConfiguration.bat same as above with a minimized console window
.buildx86.ps1 build 32bit binary
.buildx64.ps1 build 64bit binary
.installer/buildx86-installer.ps1 build 32bit installer
.installer/buildx64-installer.ps1 build 64bit installer
21. handle private keys of PEM form using CryptoAPI.
Certificates of PFX form are no longer needed for SSL client certificate authntication.
22. Fix a bug in CC_copy_conninfo() that free()s password item of input source unexpectedly.
Change CC_copy_conninfo() and copy_globals() so that they copy each item one by one.
23. Fix the newly-introduced CORR_STRCPY and CORR_VALCPY macros.
They were broken, did not compile. This fixed by Michael Paquier.
24. Add support for verify-ca/full sslmode using Windows Schannel Security Service Provider.
Root CAs must be installed into Windows Root certificate store beforehand.
25. VOID is not defined on all systems. Use void insted.
This fixed by Christoph Berg.
26. winres.h instead of afxres.h.
There are some cases (VS 2012 express etc) when afxres.h doesn't exist.
27. Avoid double-free() bug.
Spotted by Fortify static analysis tool.
28. Escape double-quotes in table name correctly.
When constructing the select/update/delete for current row in a rowset, and the schema or table name contained double-quotes, they were not correctly escaped in the constructed SQL statement. That lead to errors when doing positioned updates. Also, use snprintf and snprintf_add instead of sprintf and strcat in more places. Makes these things look less like buffer overflows to static analysis tools, and make for more readable code anyway.
29. Construct ctid string correctly for block no > 2^31.
Block number is unsigned. Other places where we construct ctid strings we got this right, but not this one. I'm not sure how to trigger this codepath, but I'm sure something funny would happen if you tried to use these functions on large enough tables (> 16 TB).
30. Fix buffer overflow in interval parsing.
Flagged by Fortify static analysis tool.
31. Check return value of stdup() for out-of-memory.
There are a lot of little bugs like this throughout the code, but it's start...
32. Replace calls to my_strcat and my_strcat with snprintf_add.
my_strcat didn't check for buffer overflow, which Fortify static analysis tool flagged as an issue.
33. Fix buffer overflow in handling of SQLTables params.
34. Use snprintf() instead of sprintf() for safety.
I believe these instances were in fact safe, because a cursor name has a maximum length.
35. bufferoverflowu.lib seems no longer needed in recent versions of VC environment.
removed it from win64.mak. Speocify CUSTOMLINKLIBS=bufferoverflowu.lib from the command line when it is neccessary in old VC environment.
36. Fix memset() call, meant to clear the whole struct.
Per compiler warning.(psqlodbc.c)
37. socket: speedup also ipv6 connection
Call getaddrinfo() with AI_NUMERICHOST if it is ipv4/ipv6 address. For that reason the inet_pton() is better than inet_addr().
This fixed by Pavel Raiskup
38. Call getaddrinfo() with AI_NUMERICSERV because the service is a port number.
39. Fixed lost mylog.h in Makefile.am.
This fixed by Pavel Raiskup

## psqlODBC 09.02.0100

Changes:
1.) Protect shared connection list when making cleanup tasks in EN_Destructor using the patch provided by Michael Kocherov.
2.) Fix a lot of compiler warnings. Most of them were harmless, but some pointed to real, but rare, bugs.
3.) Check SIZEOF_LONG_INT, rather than SIZEOF_VOID_P, when deciding whether SQLROWSETSIZE exists. That's consistent with unixodbc's sqltypes.h.
4.) Check BUILD_LEGACY_64_BIT_MODE instead of BUILD_REAL_64_BIT_MODE. This makes us choose correctly whether we're building a 32-bit or 64-bit version, when building with unixODBC version 2.2.13 or higher.
